Since igs live in trees, you have to think tall. Starting out, the cage is ok, assuming you have a new small ig. The cage should be twice as tall as it is now. The other dimensions are ok. You didn't mention where you live or the environment around the cage ( room temp, inside, outside, windows nearby, etc ). What are the heating and lights arrangements ? UVB Light - always within 18 inches of the ig ( at least 1 hour per day ). What about day and nite temps ? Temp gradient within the cage-both vertically and horizontally. Branches or self made trees are better for igs for climbing and basking. Those are a few of my suggestions. CW
